- Summary:
- This book re-examines the occupation of the lake basin at Lake Titicaca during the Tiwanaku period (500-1150 AD) using the concept of 'lacustrine cultural landscape'. Considered as 'cultures of the land' (agriculture, pastoralism, etc.), the pre-Hispanic societies of Lake Titicaca developed many practices specific to 'cultures of the sea' (navigation, offerings, etc.). Whether politically, socio-culturally or ritually, the lake has had an impact on the evolution of these populations and has encouraged the emergence of practices that are inseparable from a lake area. Delaere proposes a new 'vision' of archaeology at Lake Titicaca by integrating the lacustrine factor into the interpretation of Tiwanaku cultures, and by reconciling our present knowledge of both terrestrial and underwater 'archaeologies'
